Amazing, beautiful visit to Fiesole. Giovani was the best host I’ve ever had. The tour was a perfect peaceful retreat outside of Florence. Once we walked to the hill the view of Florence was spectacular! Giovani even provided a delicious sandwich! Highly recommend!

Giovanni has offered a very unique experience of the old Tuscan path, exploring churches, explaining the history of iconic villas. Thank you for sharing your passion with me. Very unique experience.

Giovanni's tour was excellent - he had great insights about the area and as an architect provided a unique perspective. I highly recommend the tour if you’re looking for a fun day trip from downtown Florence.

The tour was very nice and Giovanni is a super-friendly, easy-going and knowledgeable guy! He will lead you to places with a breathtaking view, far away from the ordinary tourist places.
If you are fit enough to walk 2km up the hill, I totally recommend it!

Excellent! Captivating story telling with a mix of personal and local history as well as skilled and professional knowledge of the area's architecture. Giovanni made us at ease with his friendly and gentle manner, and we left feeling we just gained a new friend. Giovanni alsoi provided a delicious lunch of local food and wine that we enjoyed with a breathtaking view of Firenze.
This will be one of the absolute highlights of our trip and we highly recommend the experience. Thank you, Giovanni!

It was an exciting experience to hear Giovanni tell about his birth town, the relationship between Fiesole and Florence through time, and about the architecture of Fiesole.
Giovanni is a great narrator who knows his city and profession.
At the same time, he is a pleasant acquaintance and very easy to talk to.
Would recommend a trip to Fiesole at any time with Giovanni as a guide.
